We are a football club for the LGBTQ community and our friends. We run regular training sessions, and we enter all sorts of different tournaments and events, locally, nationally, and internationally.
We are also in the GFSN nationwide 11 a side league for the 2019/2020 season.
Hi everyone
I am pleased to say the weekly Men's football sessions will recommence at the Manor on Thursday 15th April.
The COVID restrictions issued by the FA for organised team sports will still apply as they did before Christmas so you will need to ensure you have read the conditions and completed the self declaration form before you can play.
Please email football@blaggs.org if you have any questions and see you on the 15th.
Thanks
Kurt
HOW WE PLAY
We have 90mins now, so please arrive between 6:00 and 6:30 to meet up, have a warm up, do some shooting practice etc, ready for a 6:30 kick off. We play until 7:30. We often head to the pub afterwards for food and/or a drink.
HOW WE PLAY
We play at The Manor, just at the back of Kemptown MAP LINK. It is a 3G artificial pitch with floodlights etc and is best used for 7-aside. Please wear astro shoes or moulded boots, but no studs or blades please. Do consider wearing shin pads (we have some spares).
WHAT IT COSTS
The first session is free as a taster but then the weekly fee is £7.50.
We, in partnership with Sussex FA, BN1 Gaming and Football.v.Homophobia are running a FIFA 21 Tournament on PlayStation, Xbox and PC on Saturday 27 February 2021 at 11am.
Usually ourselves and Sussex FA compete in exhibition matches during February to show support for Football.v.Homophobia month of action.
However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are taking this year’s activities online. We’re also inviting the rest of the county to join us; players, coaches and volunteers at all our grassroots clubs at Sussex will be able to enter to represent their club whilst football remains suspended.
All matches in the knockout tournament will take place on Saturday 27 February. There will be separate tournaments for each console (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X and PC). Entrants will be required to make an account on Challengermode, which will be used to create the tournament draw and will provide a safe and secure platform for players to arrange to play each other.
Tournament Overview
Game - FIFA 21
Date & Time - Saturday 27 February at 11am
Console - PlayStation 4 or 5, Xbox One or Series X or PC

The chosen charity for the tournament is Mind Out, a mental health service run by and for lesbians, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer people based in Brighton. They work to improve the mental health and well-being of LGBTQ+ communities and to make mental health a community concern.
We hope that all players, as well as the rest of the Sussex football community will donate what they can to support the charity.
